Yes I do need a polarizer. Looking at the B+W 95mm F-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission Circular Polarizer MRC Filter at B&H. Do you have a recommendation? Thank you.

Either that one or the Singh-Ray LB Color Combo

The new Nikon 200-500mm f5.6E lens is really getting a workout. Today's subject was ducks in a local pond. My keeper rate is really getting seriously better. This lens is amazing! I need to purchase a polarizer for it next.
Photos 1, 2 and 3 are my favorites. Thank you for looking!

Nice set. I use this lens too. I also wouldn't use a polarizer on this lens

Why would you not use a polarizer on this lens? Many pros, including myself, do a high percentage of the time---especially with wildlife.

The 200-500 produces outstanding images on my D810 as well. (Let's not tell Nikon that they have undervalued that lens!)

I have CP's for a number of my lenses, but not my 200-500 yet. Despite several previous comments, CP's do work in the right circumstances. I have had very good experiences with B&W Professional grade filters.

I don’t have one for my 200-500 but use them on my other lenses. I always use the lens hood so using the CP would be annoying.

Without any disparaging comments.....I'm not sure this product will optically match the fine image characteristics of the 200-500 lens.

Keep on getting more and more keepers with your new lens.!
